Hi!
I have been busy finishing my PhD, so I haven't been active on the forum lately. But I wanted to share with you a new experience: recording in the studio. This is a version of Whole Lotta Love, recorded in Conclave & Earshot Studios and arranged and played by Herbrand Larsen (keyboardist in Norwegian metal band Enslaved). I got the instrumental version from him yesterday and we created the vocals in the studio today. I sung it almost directly, only a few extra takes here and there, and then it were mixed.
I am not totally satisfied with my vocals, especially in the beginning, but that is mostly due to me being a bit tense in the beginning (first time in studio), and that I also had to think about improvising the vocals, and singing with passion. I am used to only focusing on technique! That was a very interesting experience, and I learnt two things: That all these 'distractions' requires that you have good control of your vocal technique, or you will not be able to do all of that at once. And I also registered that after all, I can't be too bad, because I think the result is Ok, even if there are some flaws here and there.

You Rock, Trine!!!
This sounds really good. Your voice records very nicely, and it's HOT!!! It's a good arrangement, as well.
My favorite moment is at 2:03!
You've got what it takes! Keep working at it, you're gonna be a MONSTER!!!

Thank you Bob.
2:03 is exactly my faourite moment too! :-) I am not satisfied with the beginning of the song, too much consonants and too little support. But that is how life is: not always perfect, but there is beauty in imperfection too! And passion. So I decided to let it be as it is. And I love it because it is ME!
Thank you! I was planning to join the competition! I like very much to sing "Alone"!
